Ok, I'm only 15 years old right now, and I'll be 16 in January. But, I want to adopt my little sister when I turn 18. I've done a little searching, and I found that both of her parents have to give up parental rights so that I would be able to adopt her, and I know that her mother would give up her parental rights, but I'm not sure that her father would. Her father is the reason I want to adopt her, because she is being raised by him, and I don't like it at all. She is in some horrible conditions, and it is very important to me that I get her out. Could anyone tell me how I could get started with this? Any ideas? Thanks!
